How to choose a kitchen faucet

From rinsing veggies to filling the kettle, your kitchen faucet is on duty day in, day out. In this guide, we’ll walk you through all things that matter: design, different functions, lasting quality and ways to be more mindful with water.

Start with style

Whether you prefer a modern style, industrial edge or traditional looks, we offer a wide range of styles to fit your kitchen, regardless of your preference.

Flexibility where you need it

Many of our faucets feature pull-out or pull-down functions for extra reach. Some of them have a hidden pull-out hose within a classic design, while others have flexible spring spouts that move easily. All rotate at least 120 degrees – and some even go a full 360, giving you more freedom, no matter the task.

Choose spray depending on the job

With some of our faucets, you can opt between different spray modes depending on the task at hand. Switch between a soft, aerated stream for delicate duties and a stronger shower spray for cleaning or rinsing dishes.

Less is more

All of our kitchen faucets come with an aerator that mixes air into the water, keeping the flow just right while using less.

Made for the long run

Our pull-out faucets feature easy retraction, so the hose slides back smoothly without any strain. Pull-down faucets feature magnetic spout holders that keep the head securely in place. These features help reduce wear and keep it more durable. And for extra peace of mind, all IKEA kitchen faucets come with a 10-year limited warranty, so you can feel as confident in your choice years from now as you do today.
